    1869 (March/April): 10 bani blue, the left half of a superb vertically bisected example to pay the 5 bani rate, used on 1871 'Quitanta' printed form (manuscript #7) for a gold sending of 155 grams declared at 48 lei, neatly tied by BOLGRAD datestamp (2/8) in black (Kiriac fig. 376). All the listed bisected examples used in Bolgrad (see Heimbüchler II, page 298) were used between late February and the third week of September 1871, however this is the sole example used in August of that year and unrecorded by Heimbüchler in his census. Fresh and very fine, a rare and most attractive bisected usage.
